After 3 days of shopping at tesco & sains - and getting nothing with the shelves completely bare - I got up early and went to a M&S store, and then to Waitrose in Woodford. Both had food - no eggs, spuds, pasta, normal stuff, but finally managed to stock up dad in law's freezer with TV dinners and grab a few fresh bits of veg for ourselves too. Bought 10 TV dinners to last him, as well as a pork joint, so I guess that is stock piling? To be honest, I no longer care. The idiots stripping the shelves bare have forced normal, considerate people to be a little bit cautious and my dad in law is 90.
